This chapter deals with the modelling of nanomaterial and nanocomposite mechanical and thermal properties. Enrichment in the technology requires materials having higher thermal properties or higher structural properties. Nanomaterials and nanocomposites can serve this purpose accurately for aerospace or thermal applications and structural applications respectively. The thermal system requires materials having high thermal conductivity while structural system requires materials having high strength. Selection of the material for particular application is very critical and requires knowledge and experience. Al, Cu, TiO2, Al2O3, etc. are considered for thermal applications while epoxy-glass, FRP, etc. are considered for structural applications. Modelling of these nanomaterials and nanocomposites is done with the help of different mathematical models available in the literature. Results show that addition of the nanoparticle/composite in the base material can enhance the thermal and structural properties. Results also show that amount of weight percentage added also affects the properties.

In order to identify the best possible reaction media for performing H2S conversion, a total number of 300 different ILs from a combination of 20 cations and 15 anions were screened via COSMO-RS model simulations. By COSMO-RS method, thermodynamic and physicochemical properties of 300 ILs such as Henry’s law constants, activity coefficient, selectivity, capacity and performance index are obtained and analyzed. Thus, by comparing the performance of ILs via COSMO-RS, a series of TSILs containing cation of [P66614] with metal chloride anions such as Fe, Ga and Sn were chosen and selected for synthesis based on their performance predicted by COSMO-RS and their economic values. Consequently, the physiochemical properties such as density, viscosity, thermal properties, as well as H2S absorptive oxidation performances in those TSILs will be systematically investigated.

Abstract This chapter discusses the extraction, physiochemical (chemical composition, amylose and amylopectin content), structural (granular morphology, X-ray diffraction pattern, starch crystallinity, and amylose and amylopectin structure), functional (swelling pattern, solubility, viscosity, rheological properties and retrogradation) and thermal properties, and digestibility of starches from minor tuber crops (e.g., arrowroot, Curcuma spp., Canna edulis [C. indica], Chinese water chestnut [Eleocharis dulcis], chayote [Sechium edule], Pachyrhizus ahipa, Oxalis tuberosa, Arracacia xanthorrhiza, Lilium spp.).

Different-colored sweet potatoes have different contents of pigments and phenolic compounds in their root tubers, which influence the isolation of starch. It is important to justify the identification of the most suitable isolation medium of starch from different colored root tubers. In this study, starches were isolated from root tubers of purple, yellow and white sweet potatoes using four different extraction media, including H2O, 0.5% Na2S2O5, 0.2% NaOH, and both 0.5% Na2S2O5 and 0.2% NaOH. Their structural and functional properties were investigated and compared among different extraction media. The results showed that the granule size, apparent amylose content, lamellar peak intensity, thermal properties, and pasting properties were different among different-colored sweet potatoes due to their different genotype backgrounds. The four extraction media had no significant effects on starch structural properties, including apparent amylose content, crystalline structure, ordered degree, and lamellar peak intensity, except that the NaOH and Na2S2O5 treatment were able to increase the whiteness of purple and yellow sweet potato starches. The different extraction media had some effects on starch functional properties, including thermal properties, swelling power, water solubility, and pasting properties. The above results indicated that the H2O was the most suitable extraction medium to simply and fast isolate starch from root tubers of different-colored sweet potatoes.

Abstract This chapter discusses the extraction of starch from different yam (Dioscorea) species. The physiochemical (biochemical property, amylose and amylopectin content), structural (granular morphology, X-ray diffraction pattern, starch crystallinity, and amylose and amylopectin structure), functional (swelling pattern, solubility, viscosity, rheological properties and retrogradation) and thermal properties of yam starches and their digestibility are described.
